Kim Kardashian rents out arena for Kanye West's birthday

June 09, 2015

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to doing things over-the-top, so it made sense that when it was her husband, Kanye West's, birthday she wouldn't just settle for a nice card. Instead, the reality star surprised the rapper by hiring out the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday for a star-studded private basketball game.

Kanye was joined by friends including rapper
Tyga, John Legend, Justin Bieber and his favorite NBA players for the surprise game, which they shared with their fans on Instagram. "Kim rented out staples b****!!! Him and his boys are going to ball!!!! Happy birthday Yeezy!!!!" Khloé Kardashian wrote alongside a picture of the team.

Meanwhile Kim
shared a photo of herself and Kanye alongside a group of Lakers cheerleaders, writing: "Thank you Staples Center for the most amazing birthday party for Kanye!"

The mom-to-be also posted a picture of Kanye blindfolded in the car en route to the venue, saying, "Surprise!"

The couple were joined by Kim's sisters
Kourtney, Khloé and Kylie, and mom Kris for the occasion, with all three siblings sharing their courtside pictures on social media. "Sisters @ the staples center!" Kylie captioned a photo of herself with Khloé and her friend Malika.
